I can't tell you how difficult it is for me to get moms in front of my camera—but if you are a mom, you probably already know what I'm talking about. Between the "extra ten pounds," or the bad hair day, or the apple sauce on the shirt, moms have plenty of excuses to avoid getting their picture taken. I should know, I'm the queen of these excuses. But no more!

Ladies. You're beautiful. Your love for your children is beautiful and palpable. Twenty years from now, when your kids are getting married or graduating college or curing cancer, you're going to find yourself going through old photos and remembering the days when they wouldn't let go of your hand, or they couldn't wait to show you the stick they found in the yard. And maybe you'll wish that you had some pictures capturing that overwhelming, all-encompassing, unlimited love you shared with your little ones.

Photographs are investments that get more and more valuable with time. It's time you got in front of the camera. Let your confidence shine for your daughters and sons! Let the world see how beautiful you are and how amazing motherhood is!

Because I am passionate about getting Mothers in the picture, this MayI'm giving away a full Portrait Session, which includes digital images, a print collection, and an 8.5x8.5 inch album from our session. Jessica McKane Makeup and stylist Kelsey Triebe from George the Salon, have also offered their services to make sure you feel fabulous in front of the camera.

You can enter for someone else if you want it to be a surprise. Only one entry per person, however. The winner will be chosen on May 14th. Click here to submit.
